kyiv monday. an unprecedented presidential visit to an active war zone with no significance u.s. military presence. you hear this. sounds alarming. it's air raid sirens. they can be heard, as you see there, with volodymyr zelensky. and it was a reminder that this is a wish. white house officials say that the president was intent on taking. mr. biden wanted to leave no doubt that the support for ukraine. and announced $500 million in new assistance for the country. ukrainian soldiers shared the message of thanks for the u.s. president. >> mr. president biden.

>> thank you, mr. president biden. god bless america. thank you for support and help. >> cnn correspondents are tracking developments. kevin, to you first. i mean, unmistakable this kind of photo op. its significance and what it means. and the day ahead for president biden. spell it out for us what white house officials are telling you in terms of the task ahead. >> i think what you hear from american officials is how uncertain the next phase of this war will be. you hear them talk about what they call troubling signs that china may be considering sending lethal aid to russia. they talk about the uncertainty on the battlefield as russia prepares for the spring offensive. behind the scenes, one president biden was in kyiv meeting with

president zelensky. that's what they were focused on. what will the next steps be? what ukraine needs from the united states to sustain momentum o n

and ukraine is somehow doing the u.s.'s bidding. if president putin does mention this trip, it will be spun in that way. either way, the anniversary of the war matters a lot in russia. these kind of moments matter. and this will be a critical speech for president putin.

it is clear he intends to continue with this fight. >> it is something we'll follow with the split-screen. about an hour putin speaking, and a few hours, biden with a speech of his own. thanks so much. china's top diplomat is expected in moscow today. he could meet with vladimir putin and sergey lavrov. he has been selling china as a peacemaker in the war. and the u.s. is skeptical, warning beijing not to offer lethal weapons to russia's military. given the strong words at the security council in munich, in the last few days, what message do we expect them to send? and what would be the agenda at this point? >> this is a meeting that is

going to be watched very, very closely. the top diplomat is on his way to moscow, according to the russia news agency. he is set to arrive tuesday at local time. they gave a preview of what to expect. they say this visit will be an opportunity for both sides, china and russia, to exchange views on the relationship. and to exchange views on what china described as international hot spot issues, which is interpreted as code for the war in ukraine. that was something that was addressed on monday. he said that china is willing to work with other countries to achieve a lasting peace in ukraine. we heard from the kremlin spokesman. they said the president did not rule out a meeting. this comes at a time of deepening diplomatic turmoil between china and the united

states, over the chinese balloon incident and russia's war of ukraine. we heard antony blinken warn of consequences, should china provide material support to russia and its ongoing conflict in ukraine. and china, through the ministry of foreign affairs, fired back with this pointed message. according to a spokesperson, monday afternoon, saying the u.s. is in no position to tell china what to do. we would never stand finger-pointing and coercion on the u.s. with russia, unquote. russia and china have been edging closer on ult. fronts. on the economic front, they know that china has been softening the blow. and on the political front, china has been giving russian talking points. refusing to give them the

russian invasion of ukraine. we will be seeing a demonstration of what's described as a no-limits partnership between russia and china. back to you. >> a very clear message on an important day in moscow. thanks for following this. appreciate it. russia is the most sanctioned country in the world. the west has imposed 5,000 aims limiting moscow's access to money. on tuesday, vladimir putin reported that russia's economy shrank just 2.5% in 2022. you want to compare that to ukraine, that suffered a 30% contraction in its gdp. european countries are discussing a tenth sanctions package. the current russian recession is

a telltale sign that sanctions are working. >> the fact that last year, despite record high energy prices, russia's economy was in recession and is expected by the frost, to be a recession this year. energy export is russia's main energy source. when the economy is high, russia's economy is doing well. the that was not the case this time. this is a direct consequence of the sanctions. >> despite what you heard, the russian ruble, you will see it there, reached a seven-year high, rising and falling as more measures have been put into place. a powerful storm system moving across the united states. and it's going to affect millions of people. the severe winter weather is heading from the west coast to the midwest. some states, you're going to get

hammered. california could suffer power outages. high winds will hit the rockies. and minneapolis, minnesota, could see historic snowfall. it seems like it will have everything, the ice, the snow and the wind. >> and all of the weather on the southeast states. over 30 million people from california to the great lakes, under a winter weather alert. winds are going to whiteout all of the locations. we can expect the snowfall through the cascades and the rockies. this is round one, by the way, as it moves in. there's the high warnings. whiteout conditions expected. blizzard warnings mean

35-mile-per-hour winds. the warnings are likely to get extended across the northern plains and upper midwest, as the low continues eastward. snowfall, there's round one. round two comes wednesday into thursday, and that's when we expect the heaviest smoefl, nearing two feet of snow. you see the darker feet, just around minneapolis. higher amounts are possible. that's through thursday. snowfall through the great lakes. where it's just warm enough, we're talking about ice. and the areas highlighted in blue, half an inch of ice, if not a little more. we could pick up close to an inch of ice. that's devastating to have

widespread power outages. and the flooding rains from the ohio valley to the mississippi valley. two to four inches of rain expected there million wednesday. that's where we can expect some of the heaviest rainfall, just north of columbia, missouri, into chicago. illinois, we could pick up some of the heavier rain. ponding on the roadways. isolated areas, we could have roadways covered in water. it's not a good situation with the low pressure, paula. >> this storm has it all. thanks for following it. appreciate it. this week, people are traveling to the tiny hometown of former president jimmy carter where he is receiving hospice or end of life care, to pay respects. carter, a former peanut farmer, put his town on the map. >> reporter: a mix of sadness and pride falls over plains,

georgia, as the residence in this small community, digest the news that former president carter is receiving end of life care. we talked to her and she remembered hearing the president at sunday service. until recently, he was still conducting lessons at church. we met a painter and there was a sculpture in a was part of president carter's 1976 presidential campaign. it has worn in recent years. and when he learned of president

carter being in hospice care, he felt an emergency that the sculpture was taken care of. take a listen as to what michael dominick has to say. >> he doesn't want recognition for that. i do the same thing stuff in my life. you don't have to -- he didn't want to make a big news statement about everything that he did. you know? he wassal simple man. >> reporter: the former president, well known for his life service and for his service with habitat for humanity. mr. dominick intimated sometimes the former president engaged in the service without telegraphing it or broadcasting it. something else he shared. he said that the community was full of believers. people who are thick in their

faith. they are clearly relying on their faith during this difficult time. in plains, georgia, cnn. just ahead for us, two weeks after being hit by a devastating earthquake, turkey and syria are reeling from another one. we'll have the latest in a live report from turkey. there's been a major development in the murder investigatio n of a los angeles catholic bishop. we'll have those details. and effortlesslyly responds to both of you. our smart sleepepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep per night. proven quality sleep. only from sleep number.

they lost not only the homes, but lost loved ones. you can imagine the fear yesterday around 8:00 p.m. local time when the strong aftershock struck. we felt it here. we're about 120 miles away from the reported epicenter. one of the hardest-hit areas. that area, another strong official. we felt the tremor. we've seen families sleeping in the lobby of this hotel, they would be unsafe in their rooms and close to an exit. and the children here, as well, extremely afraid. our colleague was towards the epicenter last night, speaking to those impacted.

welcome back to viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm paula newton. you're watching cnn newsroom. joe biden is in portland following his unprecedented visit to kyiv, days ahead of the one-year anniversary of the start of trussia's invasion of ukraine. the u.s. leader's appearance gave a boost to kyiv, and this just as vladimir putin works to prepare for a speech that justifies the invasion of ukraine. thank you for joining us. this really is likely to be one of the most significant and symbolic news of the presidency

so far. the security was worthy of a screenplay. what purpose can this have going forward? >> a couple of key aims. and the first and foremost, sharing solidarity with ukraine. with zelensky, with soldiers on the front. in advance of what we expect to be a russian offensive in spring. it was important that he was there on the ground doing that. just as importantly, a signal of defiance to putin on the eve of the anniversary of the war, just when putin was going to speak, biden was there saying, kyiv still stands, democracy still stands. and saying that not far from a bunker and the streets of kyiv, for major landmarks. i think that was important pushback to what we expect from

putin this week. it was important to say that biden, individually, and the u.s. more broadly, it's supportive of ukraine in this war and important in leaning on it. this is at a moment when putin is trying to chip away at nato's resolve, when some are pushing back at the commitment. this was quite notable. >> yeah. we're waiting in the next hour for vladimir putin to make a speech of his own. you argue that the visit was consequential. and you say biden's approach is still measured, and cautious, even. do you expect that to continue? >> the biden administration is

looking for balance here. visits like this, do a lot to galvanize morale and keep the momentum going. in real terms, we suspected there was a conversation between zelensky and biden, saying the fighters that is u.s. has not committed to so far. they were cautious throughout the fall, committing to arms and weapons that have now been sent. the biden administration has been cautious and not escalating things too quickly. not going too far to provoke putin necessarily. an trying to figure out what is going to be the end game here. committed to being with ukraine as long as it takes. and thinking pragmatically, what it will look like and what it will take to move it to that point. >> as if this were not complicated enough, china's diplomat is likely to be on the ground in hours.

meeting with sergey lavrov, with vladimir putin. how will the u.s. and others pivot, if china provides the aid. >> one of the wild cards was china. would they back putin or take a middle road? and we've seen they've maintained economic ties with russia, diplomatic, political but not sending aid up to this point. we heard secretary blinken say, the u.s. intelligence expects that might be a possibility. if china sends aid to russia, that will be a major factor in this war and severely threaten ties between the u.s. and china. that's been a red line that china has not crossed but would take things to a different

level. >> i don't have a lot of time left. but in terms of u.s. support from this, we have polls indicating while democrats are behind joe biden, in majority, republicans and independents are, too, but not to the extent that democrats are. is that an achilles' heel for president biden? >> it is a little bit. but inspects are mostly with this. half of republicans are. and in congress, there's majorities to get the aid packages through. to get the real-term support through. that's where biden is focusing now. >> we can't thank you enough for taking us through that, in a detailed way, as we await speeches by president biden and president putin. the u.s. environmental protection agency says there's no air or walter concerns in east palestine, ohio. that's two weeks after a train

derailed there. the agency says they screened 500 homes for indoor air quality and have not detected dangerous levels of contaminates. residents are having ailments from rashes and nausea, and poor breathing. elsewhere in ohio, 13 people were taken to local hospitals after an explosion at a metal factory that sparked a huge fire. two victims are in critical condition. witnesses say the blast shook nearby buildings, scattered debris and damaged vehicles. the bulk of the fire is contained. and crews are working on putting out hot spots. the cause of the explosion is unknown. a push to revamp israel's judicial system passes its first hurdle as huge crowds protest outside parliament. the next steps and why reforms

a controversial set of bills would allow the knesset to overrule with a simple majority and change the way judges are apointed. the prime minister facing corruption charges is all for this and so are his allies. when the vote went benjamin neta netanyahu's way, he tweeted it was a great day and a great bill. lawmakers are bitterly divided. some wear flags and were

escorted out by security. outside of the knesset, there was a sea of israeli flags as roughly 175,000 people showed up to protest. >> this is the main road that leads not only in front of the israeli supreme court, but also ends in front of the parliament, in knesset. that's where thousands of protesters are heading. for the protesters today here, they believe the vicious reforms would threaten the independence of the israeli judiciary. some believe it's only to help benjamin netanyahu, the prime minister, in his ongoing corruption trial. the protesters are chatting things like democracy. and israel will not be a dictatorship. they have a visceral belief that the reforms are threatening the israeli way of life and democracy. for the counterprotesters -- there are counterprotesters, they support the reforms. they believe it's needed and a

long time coming. and this is what the israeli voters voted for in november elections, when benjamin netanyahu and his allies won a 64-seat majority in israeli parliament. netanyahu is facing pressure from some that called on the israeli government to pump the breaks. so slow down the legislative process and allow time for consensus and negotiations. the u.n. is warning that missile launches by north korea pose a serious risk to aviation and maritime pacific. during a security council meeting monday, a top official called for immediate steps to resume dialogue. >> we welcome the security council commitment to the diplomatic and political

situations on the peninsula. as well as the importance that the council has put it on war sanctions. diplomacy is the only way for the world. >> that meeting comes after north korea launched three ballistic missiles in the past three days, claiming it has developed missiles capable of surviving re-entry. will ripley has more on the story. >> reporter: the missile is a menacing sight, moving into place at pyongyang's airport. kim jong-un gave the order, just hours ahead of the lunch. this intercontinental mrisic missile, hitting hypersonic speeds, bearing back down to ja japan's material toir waters. saturday's missile, one of many on display last week. a record number of icbms, more than any other military parade in north korean history.

kim ordered mass production of icbms this year. the parade, featuring new missiles and a new face. kim's daughter, believed to be 9 years old, appeared on staid media three months ago. fueling speculation she is being groomed as the next north korean leader. given that kim jong-un introduced his daughter on the last icbm launch, what is that? >> she is being groomed as the next leader. that suggests to me there could be something behind the scenes, maybe a health problem for kim jon jong-un, accelerating to do this now. >> kim's daughter, a fixture on state media. posing together for a postage stamp. dad, daughter and the family

arsenal. a test of tactical neuclear weapons. the bellicose broadcast came from kim's younger sister. saying the frequency of using the pacific ocean as our shooting range depends on the nature of the military action. she is referring to upcoming military bdrills on the korean peninsula. joint exercises over the weekend, fueling fears of escalation. >> if north korea conducts the seventh nuclear test, which could happen at anytime, it would be a game-changing, in the sense that north korea could develop and deploy tactical nuclear missiles. >> an arsenal that has one purpose, to preserve the power of the ruling kim family for generations to come. will ripley, cnn, taipei. just a single picture or

frame can convey so much emotion and be so significant. next, we talk to a photo journalist who has been covering the situation in ukraine, to discover some of the stories her images captured.

incredible and heartbreaking images she captured in ukraine. >> what started off with the image over your right shoulder. that moment, was that a turning point? >> it was absolutely a turning point. it was the moment when ordinary civi civilians deposed a president that had close ties to russia and they demonstrated they wanted to have closer ties to europe. it's ironic that i believed i was documenting the end of violence in the country. now, we know it was only the beginning. >> we saw what we have been seeing over the past year, the fight, the resilience, of ukra ukrainians. >> they are faced with no choice, are they? but to be resilience and to fight.

no one in ukraine chose this war. >> i'm particularly concerned in my work and about the civilian experience of war. everybody is affected by it in some way. >> much of your work focuses on the exteerns of the trauma around this wore. you focus on one family. >> this is aaliyah and her husband and her kid. >> fighting them to their neighborhood very fast. since both of the kids were born after 2014, some of them had never seen peace. >> pictures like this one, seem more spesprecious and more poin yens than before.
